I had not wrote a new thread here since months ... The blame for this has been what I brought in hand from about makes about 6 - 8 months...

I present to you this diorama seen at LEGO Catbrick Event in Barcelona.

The Fortress of Santa Catalina, located in Puerto Rico, in the heart of the Caribbean. Erected in the sixteenth century, was the first fortification built to defend the city of San Juan and the first in a series of military forts. Construction was authorized by King Carlos I of Spain as a protection against the attacks of indians, corsairs and pirates.

Eastern tower section.

Jungle and river.

Pirate prisioner on courtyard.

For its construction I used about 35,000 pieces.

In theory it is not right either a MOC, I should label it as a WIP, because the original project is a quarter of a much larger diorama than this. This portion, is 6 x 4 baseplates and the final project will occupy 12 x 8 baseplates. Gradually I will try to finish it.

I 'm uploading to flickr the rest of the gallery, so I recommend that you see there the rest of photos and see the details. (If you click on image you will be redirected to flickr)

Well, it's a little bit complicated. It divides into 3 parts. Two of them with 4 x 2 baseplates sections and other one in 2 x 2 baseplates section and the others with individual baseplates. Then to move it is needed a van ( so it's impossible to put into a car ) and I have three wooden planks to put the sections above.

Regards!

This is truly spectacular! Such level of detail, some pictures in your flickr stream really blew me off my feet. I'm especially fond of your wall design with all those various decorations, holes, and whatnot. And when you say there's more to come!

Great work, looking forward for more.

Best regards

Stunning work! Your building techniques and ability are amazing! I clicked on the the picture, but it did not take me to your flickr gallery. Only to the picture itself. Anyway you could provide a link to your gallery?

One of the best forts I've ever seen. I love the scale, texture, footprint, pier, and other details. Really great work. The level of vegetation is also nicely balanced. Again great work! God Bless and thanks for sharing,
